Custom Solutions for Cleaner, Safer, Healthier Water.

Have you ever been in a cave? Do you recall the stalactites and stalagmites? That is water hardness. It got into the cave the same way it gets into your home-it is dissolved in the water. When we say the term “dissolved” we are referring to the same condition or relationship sugar has in water. We all know one could put a full pound of sugar in a quart of water and it would not be visible, because it is dissolved. It (the sugar) is not visible but the full pound sugar could be measured on a scale with the water. That is the very same condition of hardness or scale in water.

Iron is a unique mineral contamination found in wells across Texas. As an inorganic material it does not tend to fluctuate in total composition but it may or may not stain at a consistent rate depending upon others chemistry factors such as flow, volume, pH balance and other water contaminants.

As is the case of all minerals, iron sediments get into the water as a dissolved mineral as low pH rain water dissolves this solid mineral into the water. Even with high iron levels it is probable that you could look and see perfectly clear water. Later, the classic reddish, brown stain of iron presents itself. What occurred is the process of oxidation. The oxygen molecule in air added an ion to the dissolved iron and the iron became suspended, turned into a visible particle and then bonded to a surface. There are three different forms of Iron: Ferrous, Ferric, and transitional.

Fe2 denotes Ferrous Iron. Ferrous iron is dissolved in the water. In this state the water is clear and does not stain. Most iron in wells will be in ferrous form and all iron has the potential of turning into ferric iron.

Fe3 denotes Ferric Iron. Ferric iron is suspended in the water. In this state the iron staining is present.

Well water is considered problematic when the water is constantly and relentlessly turbid. Wells that are turbid will also pulsate to a degree or turn clear and then return to the turbid state. Water in this condition is unusable in any meaningful way for domestic use. The particles of mud have become so small that they form an ionic bond to the water molecule itself and thus the dirt will never clear apart from well water treatment.

There comes a point when there is no hope that the water will clear on its own and it is time to turn towards a permanent solution.

The number one and most important use of water is for human consumption; this is why water purification treatment is necessary. Filtered water purification contributes to overall health.

It is possible to have a wide array of bacteria, organic contaminants and many other constituents which directly affect the safety of your water at home. There is not a single systematic source of ongoing well water tests anywhere from any source. A well owner is on their own with water safety which is directly related to water purity. Nation’s Pure has met the need of ensuring safety through our drinking water treatment.

Today over 70% of the adult population is drinking bottled water.
Municipal water in Texas is monitored and regulated to comply with the standards for public health and safety, but it does not always meet personal needs and concerns.

When scale free water, odor free water, or just the assurance of chlorine removal is a priority in your home, Nation’s Pure has solutions to meet your personal needs. It is possible to have bottled water quality in your home for pennies a gallon and to have household water you can really appreciate.
